The Bailiffs were ordered to provide information on why they arrested the friars, and provided such information (a transcript of which is attached to the petition) that John and John can only be delivered before the King. They ask that they might be able to come before the King to stand to right according to the law of the land, as they have been in prison first at Dunstable and now at Aylesbury, and are at point of death as a result.
- Nature of endorsement
- The certification is to come before the council.The Sheriff is to be ordered that if brothers John and John have been arrested and held for the reason given in the petition and for no other, then he is to have the said brothers John and John brought, at their own cost, before the King at the quinzaine of Easter next, wherever he is, to answer to the King concerning the things contained in the Bailiffs' certification, and to do and receive what the court will decide. And this petition, with the said certification, is to be sent before the King then, under the foot of the great seal.
